All of the national call-in shows you hear are pre-recorded so that your local station can broadcast the show at the best local time. They really do take calls – just not live. They may call you back on a Tuesday evening, for instance, to chat with a host for a Saturday morning show. Here are the contact numbers for our most popular call-ins:

This Old House Radio – 1-877-864-7460

A Way with Words – 1-877-929-9673

Travel with Rick Steves – 1-877-333-7425

(note – Rick Steves takes calls only periodically, so producers advise you to sign up for their Radio Waves newsletter for notice that they’re taking calls this week!)
